For your help: answered by e-frontier

"This problem could be the result of using too many infinite lights- Poser 6 does not currently support more than eight infinite lights. If you convert some of your infinite lights to spotlights it should help with the problem- or you could use a single diffuse image-based light (IBL) instead of using many infinite lights."

I answered him I was using two infinites. Second email received:

"I've talked to a number of people here and although we haven't actually seen this specific issue, lighting can be tricky- the thing that bothers me is that Poser 5 renders the same scene properly. From your screenshots it looks like the lighting angle is rendering at 90 off- your main light looks like it's coming in from the side rather than the front, and I don't see the red fill light at all (perhaps it's now coming from behind the figure?) I'd suggest rendering with raytracing turned off, also switching cameras (main to auxiliary and back to force a redraw) prior to rendering; you might also want to try deleting your Poser 6 preferences (the Poser configuration file, LibraryPrefs.xml file and Poser UI Prefs XML file, from the C:/Program Files/Curious Labs/Poser 6/Runtime/prefs folder), although it would be odd for the prefs to be involved hereBR>
